Sure sad, but sometimes better to uncover company culture issues quickly and leave before engaging. Would you like to work with such selfish perfectionist everyday?

True. The company I worked for the shortest time in my life had a similar culture. There was basically no interaction between employees other than trying to one-up each other with tricky math puzzles and obscure details of the C++ specification. And not in a friendly banter way. I quit after 4 months.

Even more vicious behaviour if the employees add these math puzzles, unnecessarily to code and setup traps for those who interact with the component.
